Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 301 Livelihood (1)
Besides Gao Lan, Gao Fei let her out of the Duke Cheng's mansion, which was tantamount to repaying her request.

But things happened so fast, she didn't even have time to think too much, and she was kicked out just like that.

The tears on Shuangji's face were all dry, she took the purse and followed Gao Lan towards Buzhuang, turning her head to look in the direction of Duke Cheng's mansion from time to time.She was also dumbfounded, a while ago she said she would deal with their master and servant, why did she let her go when she said suddenly?

When it's Shenshi, it's time to wait for dinner to eat.Seeing that it was going to be dark soon, Gao Lan didn't dare to delay, so she took Shuangji back to Buzhuang.

There is only one shopkeeper in the cloth village, and two guys, seeing her coming suddenly, they all respectfully call her "Master".

Only here did Gao Lan dare to open the purse Er He gave her.In the purse were a few dozen taels of silver and a few banknotes with a denomination of one hundred taels.

This is probably the first time that Gao Lan has seen so much money, so much money is enough for her half her life to chew even if she closes her eyes and does not work.If it was the time when she was doing business outside, the money would be enough to realize her ideas one by one.But now, for some reason, she couldn't be happy anymore.

Shuangji looked at her master in a daze, and reminded: "Girl, it's getting late outside. Where shall we go to rest tonight?"

Gao Li hid all the banknotes in her purse, and then took out two ingots of silver, and locked the rest in the counter, "Let's go to the nearby inn to settle down, and look for the house tomorrow."

When she said these words, she didn't avoid the people in the store. The shopkeeper and the clerk were surprised when they heard her say that she wanted to find another place to live, but they didn't say anything.

Gao Li also politely said to the shopkeeper: "You have more experience than me, where is the best place to rent a house near us?"

The shopkeeper is in his fifties, a very honest and reliable person, so he told her: "Our shop is in the east of the city. The market here is good and there are many people. But the people who live here are all locals from well-to-do families, and few have houses. It’s empty. Not to mention the high price, even if you want to find it, it’s hard to find it for a while. Looking around the west of the city, even near the dog’s ear alley, they are all rented out. It’s just that when you come to our cloth shop, you need one every time. At Shichen, fish and dragons are still mixed together, and it is not convenient for a girl from the host family to live in."

Gao Lan nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. Tomorrow I will go to the middleman and ask."

While talking, seeing that it was getting late, Gao Lan went to find a nearby inn to stay.

Even though she had plenty of money, Gao Li didn't choose the best room.I just chose an ordinary room and lived with Shuangji.In addition, I paid a few extra pennies to ask Xiaoer to find an extra quilt.

Shuangji made a floor bunk in the house at night.Gao Lan also washed up early and went to bed.

Both master and servant went to bed early, but neither of them felt sleepy.The two were in a daze with their eyes open.

After more than half an hour like this, Gao Lan was flipping pancakes on the bed, and Shuangji said timidly, "Girl, can't you sleep?"

Gao Lan said "Yes".

Shuangji asked again: "Then should the slaves light the lamp?"

"No, go to bed early."

"Oh." Shuangji responded, and finally asked boldly in the dark night: "Miss, are we not going back to Duke Cheng's mansion?"

Gao Lan was silent for a long time, and Shuangji was about to fall asleep before she heard her say: "Well, I won't go back. From now on, you will never mention the Duke's Mansion again. It's getting late, go to sleep."

Shuangji didn't dare to ask any more questions, and obediently shut up.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Dequan who was beside Yuan Lu had arranged for people to inquire about the news near the small cloth village.There are always guests coming and going in the cloth shop, and they are not conspicuous.

Later when Gao Lan came, Li Dequan avoided it by himself and let others continue to stare.
